New Wiring Technology for Cost-effective Construction of FTTH Networks Using Free Branch Cable

摘要

For the purpose of constructing more economical FTTH networks, the authors have developed a new aerial fiber distribution cable named "Free Branch Cable (FBC)" and a pre-connectorized elastic spiral drop cable. In this paper, the authors introduce the configurations of these new cables and propose a new wiring concept with these new cables that can reduce total cost of FTTH deployment.
